Reboot Day 10 and a weigh-in

Today is Day 10.  Every day it just gets easier and easier to do.  The negatives are I have not find my energy surge entirely yet, fall asleep exhausted every night before 9 p.m. and that I'm emotionally... well... a bit unstable at the moment, but much better than I was on Sunday and Monday.  That's honestly the only negatives at the moment, because I'm definitely not going to count my desire for All Gold tomato sauce - my home-made saucy helps a bit with that.

Positives:


  • Honestly I don't miss dairy, I honestly don't miss starches.  My mindset about food is changing.  I adapted to coconut milk in my coffee; I see Jamie eat yoghurt and it does not bother me that much.
  • Physically I feel better, less bloated, definitely stronger.
  • I'm having so much fun in the kitchen creating new things, things I've never tried before.  Today I'm making coconut milk.
  • My weekend cheating food binges that used to wreck my efforts are under control; and I bet it's even going to get easier.
  • My mind is definitely clearer and less cloudy, I really feel so much better mentally.
  • I discovered I'm a strong person, that I can accomplish more than I think I could.
  • My hubby is a rock star, and discovering the same things I am... well except for the kitchen fun.
BIG positive.  I have weighed in, and my weight is shifting again and I have dropped a mind-blowing 2.2 kg this past 10 days, and quite a couple of cm as well- around 11 cm all over.

That brings my total weight-loss to 17.1 kg and I am so close to my 20 kg mini-goal, I can smell it!

Oh and did I mention I am officially below my wedding-day weight!  Mentally it bothered me so much, when I was over my wedding weight I kept thinking Johnathan isn't married to all this weight, hehe and now he is losing some of me ;-)  But not my heart :-)

Speaking of Johnathan.  He also weighed in this morning and he has lost a BIG, FAT, WHOPPING 3.9 kg.  I am so proud of him.

Bring on the other 20 days, I am ready WOOOOOHOOOOO!

    I am so happy that your mindset is different with regards to food. It helps a lot when the food that others eat around you, don't bother you anymore. Such a blessing, as you know now :)
    You have grown so much. Keep it up. You rock!
